Description
Sean Moylan: A Revolutionary at War This book tells the remarkable story of Sean Moylan, a key figure in Ireland's War of Independence. During the years 1919 to 1921, Moylan led his men with bravery and military prowess, claiming notable victories against all odds that remain an integral part of local and national folklore. Through extensive research into the Bureau of Military History's Witness Statement archive, this book revisits the life of a true Irish hero whose actions contributed significantly to bringing the British to the negotiating table. Moylan's transformation from captain of the Newmarket Volunteers Company to Commanding Officer of the IRA's Cork No 2 Brigade is a testament to his leadership and dedication. Moylan's legacy extends beyond his military exploits, as he also played a significant role in politics as a Sinn Fein member of the Dail. His story is one of courage, conviction, and the unyielding pursuit of Irish independence.
